GoogleOur experience renting with Leaders was positive- in particular our property manager Jon was great communicating over email and phone regarding any issues that we had during our time at the property.

GoogleAVOID AVOID AVOID. useless is an understatement. They will let you properties that are and I quote 'the worst property they have' they will hand you the keys and let you go into a property that has not been cleaned or maintained even when you assured they will repair/replace/clean. They will take 3-4 weeks to see a to a broken boiler in the middle of winter the list of problems with leaders and there inability to get things done. They are known to pass the buck. No accountability from the property management. I cannot wait till the contract we are in has ended! I really hope they don't mislead the tenant who takes over from us either. Diabolical. Luckily I can back up what I say with pictures of the property and how it was left to us. I cannot stress this enough. PLEASE DO NOT USE LEADERS.

GoogleI have been looking for a place to rent in Brighton and Hove and Leaders are by far the best estate agents I have dealt with out of the many in the city. All three members of staff I have spoken to on separate occasions have been extremely helpful, friendly and honest people. You feel like you're talking to someone genuinely interested in helping you find a great place to live. On top of that they have been super fast to respond and are clearly great at what they do! Highly recommend going through them when house hunting.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleLeaders Letting & Estate Agents North Laine manages a couple of properties owned by our company. My main contact is Christopher McDonald, the property manager at the branch. I deal with Chris for renewing tenancy agreements, legal compliance, property maintenance. He even assisted me to liaise with the tenants and the surveyors for the recent property revaluations. I truly recommend the Leaders' North Laine branch. Thank you, Chris. Phyo Win Director of Finance at My Hotels Group

GoogleVery bad service, the person from leaders names Sebastian Owen arranged a viewing and never turned up. We called the office after waiting for 10 minutes outside the property in chilling cold, the lady on phone said they got a call from my partner to cancel the viewing which was not true, I have arranged a viewing so they should have checked before cancelling it. After this she said she will call me back after 3 minutes, she never called me back. This is the pathetic service I have ever received, these people have no manners and courtesy. If they are treating the prospective tenants like this then we can imagine the service they will provide after renting the house with leaders. Note-I don’t exactly remember from which branch of leaders this person is from. I will never ever recommend leaders to anyone
Hi there Aditi, we are really sorry to hear of the issues you have faced with us when attempting to view a property. We always aim to provide our customers with the highest level of service and so are saddened to hear that we have not been able to deliver this in your experience. I have had the chance to discuss your comments with the team at our Western Road branch and also review your applicant record on our system. It can be evidenced that on the morning of the 30th of January a viewing was initially arranged for yourselves by Sebastian for later the same day at 3:30pm although an hour before the appointment it was cancelled by Sebastian due to receiving a call from your partner. The following day the viewing was re-arranged and amended on our system by Sebastian for 12pm on Saturday the 2nd of February; unfortunately due to the way the viewing was amended on the system as the previous viewing had been cancelled it resulted in the rescheduled viewing for the 2nd of February being struck through which the team when viewing the calendar for the day believed was a cancelled appointment so did not attend. I can assure you the team would not have overlooked this appointment intentionally as of course would want to offer assistance with your property search and although this situation has occurred as a result of human error we can appreciate how disappointing and frustrating this may have been for you after attending the property and so would like to offer our sincere apologies for this and that the service you received fell below the high standards we expect of Leaders. We would of course like an opportunity to make this up to you and if you are willing to give us another chance to improve your experience with us then please reach out to Gary Copleston the Lettings Manager within the branch on 01273720714 as he is eager to discuss this with you. Kind Regards, Leaders

GoogleAVOID AT ALL COSTS Firstly they said that I had to pay six months in advance because of the nature of my employment contract. However when I told them another agency was happy for me to pay normally, they suddenly changed their minds - proving they were just lying. When I was shown the property the agent was late, didn't know how to get into property and didn't inform the current tenant - who was an older man and clearly stressed by unprofessional interruption. During my tenancy, they gave away my personal information with permission (GDPR ignored), ignored requests for things to be fixed, tried to charge me for electricians etc, and set me up with an dodgy energy company who overcharged me and then went bust. Finally they stole a lot of my deposit even though the property was left fair cleaner and in better condition than when I moved in. Thievery. My last point is about the grotesque 'no deposit' scheme they advertise. Luckily for me I can afford a deposit (even though they end up stealing it) but they offer this scheme as if it's philanthropic, when all it is is an extra charge fir poor people so Leaders can benefit from additional interest on the deposit. Another vehicle for poorer people in society having to pay more and something they should be truly ashamed of.
Hi Cian, we sorry to hear of the negative experience that you have had with us here at Leaders. It seems that the issues you have faced have been with our Western Road branch and did not deal with the team at North Laine throughout your tenancy. As mentioned on a duplicated review left on their page I will be looking into your comments in my capacity as Customer Care Manager for Leaders and will be responding to you at the earliest opportunity using the details we have on our system. Kind Regards, Joe, Customer Care Manager

GoogleNot a great experience from this letting agent. Lots of miscommunication and disorganisation, particularly at the end of the tenancy. Utility metre readings on inventory were incorrect when we moved in, and a few issues when we moved out. We think the agent left the back door open when they did viewings, and there was zero contact from them on moving out day itself. Still no sign of our deposit being returned even though our landlady inspected the property and signed off our deposit return one week ago. We had to chase the agent, who didn't appear to have any knowledge of where things were, and it's not a great service considering all the fees we have paid Leaders etc. Our landlady was absolutely lovely and really looked after us, we had a direct relationship with her for most of our tenancy, which was great, but we only wish we could say the same thing about Leaders!
Hi Dan, we’re saddened to read that you’ve been unhappy with the service you’ve received from us and the team at North Laine throughout your tenancy.

After reading your comments we can appreciate why you would be dissatisfied and would like to extend our sincere apologies regarding the recent issues you have faced. We are keen to look into these matters further to see how we can resolve these and where we can make improvements moving forward, please when you get the opportunity to do so get in touch with us at customerservice@leaders.co.uk with the address of the property that these issues are in relation to or alternatively contact us on 01344758596.

GoogleStrongly recommended! A very very very professional estate agent! I am so lucky to enter into contract with Leaders! I arrived Brighton on 19th Dec while the Christmas holiday was coming. Many thanks to Leaders for their expert work that made it became true for my little son and my family to spend the first Christmas in UK with home feeling! Thanks to Ms. Klavclia's warmly introduction to the flat. Many many many thanks to Ms. Lynn and other two beautiful girls. They tried to accomplish the paper work within half day which usually been finished within 7 days! I couldn't be any more satisfied. Next time I come to UK, I will insist on Leadres!

GoogleI wouldn't recommend using this agency to my worst enemy. They first didn't allow me to let my first choice flat even though i put a deposit on it. The flat i have now, doesn't have proper heating, nor a landline and does not recieve a cellphone reception. The agency doesn't care and just tells me to speak with the landlord's employee, who just barely answers his phone and still hasnt done anything 2 months in. In responce to your answer: what do I do about the guy who works for the landlord telling me he was "shatered" and couldn't come by to check the place or the heating which is has to be provided properly or how dirty the place was on arrival. The only proper responce i have gotten from you was when I gave this review, you have hung up on me when I have called to complain before. Btw its been 5 months and still no help from the landlord nor the agency and are now telling me their liable to extend my contract without giving me any heads up about the renewal clause.
Hi there, we are sorry you have had a negative experience and feel this way. We have been in touch with the branch manager who has informed us that the initial property wasn’t secured with an admin fee which unfortunately meant that it was still available for other parties to look at and secure for themselves. With regards to your current property not having a mobile phone signal, regrettably this is not something that we deal with or have any control over. We recommend that you get in touch with your phone provider and take up the issue with them. If you would like to discuss anything further then please do not hesitate to contact customerservice@leaders.co.uk
